Thermal pad Alphacool 12190 Black Grey

The Alphacool 12190 Black Grey thermal pad is a pliable heat-conductive interface material designed to improve thermal coupling between electronic components and cooling solutions. It provides a consistent thermal pathway for dissipating heat from chips, controllers, and power modules to heatsinks or cold plates. The black and grey two-tone appearance corresponds to its layered structure and does not affect thermal performance.

Advantages

This thermal pad offers stable thermal conductivity combined with compressibility that fills uneven surfaces and small gaps without adhesive residue. Its tear-resistant formulation allows for repeatable installation and removal during maintenance. The pad maintains performance across a range of operating temperatures and is electrically non-conductive, reducing the risk of short circuits when applied correctly.

Подходит для

• Heat transfer between processors, memory modules, and heatsinks
• Cooling of power regulation components and MOSFETs
• Thermal bridging in compact electronic assemblies and enclosures
• Prototype testing and iterative cooling adjustments

Key specifications

• Material type: thermally conductive elastomeric pad
• Color: black and grey
• Compressibility: conforms to uneven surfaces to fill gaps
• Electrical properties: electrically non-conductive when installed as intended
• Operating temperature range: suitable for typical electronic cooling environments

How to use

Clean contact surfaces to remove dust, thermal grease, or oxidation before applying the thermal pad. Cut the pad to the required size and thickness for the component-to-heatsink interface, ensuring full coverage of the heat source while avoiding overhang onto connectors. Place the pad between the component and cooling surface, then apply even mounting pressure to compress the pad into surface irregularities. After installation, verify mechanical clearance and secure the heatsink or cold plate according to device specifications.

Использование и уход

For reliable long-term performance, avoid stretching the pad during installation and replace it if it shows permanent deformation or contamination. Store unused material flat in a dry environment away from direct sunlight to preserve elasticity and thermal properties.
